I've just finished reading it... now I need some time to process it, because... well, there are some things that I had heard of before, others I didn't... but anyway...

Farewell and good luck, AJ. That's what I can say at least, for now. A bad thing this happens, though.

AJ, all I'll say is: I'm sorry you feel that way and it's come to this. I do appreciate the conversations we've had and the spirit you approached them with. Inevitably, we still have differing views on some things.

Good luck to you in whatever you do next.

AJ, why in the world didn't you talk to me about this? We have each other on msn...

I'm sad you're going, but I fear what you said will cause a whole lot of people to leave just from reading that.

I feel like I want to say something, but no matter what it is - that could provoke negative reactions, but I believe you give an example of yourself quite well in that letter. At least you were truthful to yourself, and that is important, no sarcasm there.

You were getting pretty good though, W3K. You tend to decorate what you say and pattern your speech rather heavily. Believe me when I say that's not needed to appear intelligent, we already know you're a smart guy. I wish you the best of luck.

Okay my opinion on this you can imagine roughly follows the post I made just now in AJ's farewell thread.
Sad to see ya go, sure is a tragedy you don't think we're cool enough for you anymore, I'm still here for all you new people, yadda yadda yadda.

Well, I've made an important decision. Want to know what it is? Read this. (PDF download of 1MB)

Where to begins...
There are things I agree with. When you say I have poor leadership skills I am forced to agree. I'm not a leader at heart, I'm not fond of telling people what they must do and, if anything, I am more used to work alone.
And there are things I disagree with. Despite what you imply here I have a deep respect for all the people contributing to Felarya and showing talent and imagination, exploring aspects of the universe I would have never thought about myself... But any amount of respect is not going to translate into having a decision as to the direction of the universe and where it should go, which is what some people seemed to desire... I repeat this point but Felarya is not a community project but a project open to the community..

As for the letter, you found shocking I have a negative view on it ? I never made any mystery of it...

I don't liked it back then and still don't. It's true I took it badly indeed, much more than I should have, and I clearly over-reacted on it. On the other hand I didn't liked the content of it and I don't think it was -as a whole - an honest attempt of trying to make things better…
Don't get me wrong, there were many valid points that were brought with good intentions, but mixed with less honest ones with tinge of jealousy and forum politics. And, because it was under the form of a petition, people had to sign it all. I found the process pretty manipulative personally and I didn't liked this at all. That was putting people in a delicate position. Signing or not signing ? that was a bit being caught between a rock and a hard place, especially if friends were involved.
So yes, looking back at it I reacted badly and, in hindsight, I would have done things much differently. Don't you wish sometimes you had a time-travelling machine ? But I do think the petition was wrong too.

And no I wasn't seeing you as an opposition leader like you say... if anything , I was seeing you more as a mediator... The thing is there are things you and some people want to push for that I'm always going to resist. What you think is good for the universe is not necessarily what I think is good..
I'm really sad to see you go though and hope it's not for good... Despite our disagreement I respected your intensive involvement in the community and your ideas to make things more efficient. For example, if we have a wiki that is much more readable and organized today it's largely thanks to you..

So thank you and I wish you good luck for your future projects. And I hope to see you again, if at some points you think things looks less bleak than your current assessment...

I would just like to publicly apologize for how I have been behaving these past few months. I let real-life and personal issues boil to the point where I began lashing out at those I held closest. The way I behaved was totally uncalled for, reprehensible and terrible, and I refuse to do it any more. No more being angry, no more being terrible, mopey and cruel. That isn't who I am, and it isn't who I want to be as a person. I will not perpetuate it any further either. It's time for a change, it's time for me to be a better person.

AJ, JT, Zion, Warrior, Mr.N, Tango, Chuck, Rob, Darkstorm, and any others I'm missing. You never deserved any of it. I was so completely and totally wrong.

The return of old-Cliff begins today.

That's a good start. We need you back as the Cliff we knew and loved. Not this other Cliff we don't recognize. C':

I hope you are successful in your future endeavors AJ. And Cliff, I'm happy to hear that things have cooled down.

I mainly wish to stay out of these conflicts since I have anger issues.

Well after after months of thinking about it, I’ve finally decided that Felarya as a setting and its community is no longer of interests to me. Given my lack of involvement in these forums over the several months, and the string of older members leaving I don’t believe that I will be missed by many of the people here. I would like to take the time to state that I was losing interest in Felarya as a whole well before Zion was banned. Upon realizing this I attempted to find something to anchor me to the setting; something to entertain me. At first, the simple fact that people I consider to be my friends were still active in the community was enough for me stay, but as time passed that alone wasn’t enough for me to consider myself a part of the community, I actively engaged myself in the activities that lead to Zion’s ban, activities that even at this time I still support their intended effect, I either through the maturity that comes with age or through simple reflection on the past I no longer can say that I support the means that was used to attempt to achieve that goal, at this point I believe what attracted me to participating in those activities wasn’t any genuine concern for the wellbeing of Felarya, but simple enjoyment that can be derived from eliciting another individual’s annoyance, and rage as they lack the usual tact that I try to employ in other areas of my life.

Fast forwarding ahead to now I no longer find any part of this setting enjoyable for more than a brief instant of time, I can’t read any of the good stories, character bio’s, or ideas, and critiquing the shitty ones no longer provides me with any amount amusement. Attempting to help people improve, or burn away the loose threads doesn’t provide me with any satisfaction. The idea of writing a story, developing a character, or coming up with a new idea don’t interest me. It’s because of these reasons that I’ve decided to leave, not some sense of hopelessness for the community, not the lack of quality that exists within the universe, not the lack of leadership, not the drama, or the abuse of other peoples characters and ideas. It’s the utter lack of enjoyment that I receive from this setting.

I’d also like to state that this post is entirely self-centered, and has been written and posted entirely to prove a point to myself. The point being that I don’t care anymore, I don’t care about the world building; that I don’t care about the stories; that I don’t care about the characters; and that I don’t care to listen to any more of the drama that’s pulled into this place. I’m posting and leaving this here as a simple way of proving to myself that I really don’t care so that I may leave without a second thought. I don’t believe that were this places problems to be fixed and all my friends who have left before me still a part of this community that this post change any with the exception of the details.

So it’s with a simple farewell that I’d like to leave this community and setting, no rage, no long post of personal observations, no analysis of the community, or pool of resources. Just a simple...

Farewell,
buddha66667
